Speaker 0: Well, that's the goal here. You wouldn't need combat operations if there weren't terrorists there. But by the same token, I would remind everybody, if in fact, at the end of all this, terrorism and a terrorist group remains active inside of Gaza, you're not gonna have peace. That's the fundamental truth here that everyone needs to accept. Right.
You're never gonna have peace in Gaza as long as there are terrorists operating from that territory threatening the security of Israel.

I highlighted several canceled expenditures that were deemed wasteful, including $6 million for promoting wine tourism in Moldova, $3 million for Iraqi Sesame Street, and $52 million for the World Economic Forum. Other cancellations included funds for electric buses in Rwanda, initiatives in Mexico, and even feeding insect powder to children in Madagascar. Overall, these cuts aim to prioritize American tax dollars and reduce unnecessary spending at the State Department.

Fraud. Waste. Abuse. Let's take a look at where some of the tens of billions of taxpayers' dollars were going before they were canceled by @POTUS and @SecRubio. 🧵

Speaker 0: Well, it's not easy to go last after all these reports that have come here. First of all It's true. Mister so it better be good, and I'll be short as well. A couple things, mister president. I think you deserve a lot of credit for two things.
The first is assembling this great team of people, some of whom I've owned for a long time, others who I've gotten to know during this period of time. But putting together a team, not just of talented individuals, but that work well together, is something never gonna be reported on in the media or fully seen, but it happens every single day. For the most part, I interact with almost everyone around this table to some at some level. And and because of Secretary Kennedy, I'm afraid to eat anything. So He said Tootsie Rolls are okay in moderation.
So but but it's a great team. And here's the second, and I tell this to people all the time, this is incredibly rewarding service, and you hear it in everyone's voices. Traditionally, in the past, and it's one of the problems got in as a country, is presidents would say, okay, let's go do something, and then they would have to do a study, and then a study on the study, and then a long internal deliberative process. And by the time you got to it, it was too late or somebody had forgotten it. In this administration, it's moving.
You you know the direction because you know why you were elected. The American people elected you very clearly. And, basically, it's measured, I used to say, by days and weeks. Now, it's measured by hours and minutes. But action is happening.
And that's what people wanna see. And I'm talk about foreign policy in particular because I'm not sure this is fully appreciated. We have we this president inherited thirty years of foreign policy that was built around what was good for the world. In essence, the decisions we made as a government in trade and foreign policy was is it good for the world? Is it good for the global community?
And under president Trump, we're making a foreign policy now that's, was it good for America? I was appointed by you and confirmed by the senate to be the the head of the United States Department of State. Not the World Department of State, not the Global Department of State, the United States Department of State. And what that means is our foreign policy is guided by three things. Does it make America stronger?
Does it make America safer? And does it make America richer? If something doesn't do one of those three things, and hopefully all three of those things, we're not doing it. Now we went out and hired a consulting firm to help us organize ourselves. Luckily, they were free.
They're called the Department of Government Efficiency. And they helped us do a couple things. Number one is our foreign aid. We were funding some crazy stuff. Crazy stuff.
You tell me how does a puppet show in in some country around the world make us stronger, safer, and more prosperous. So we got rid of puppet shows and a bunch of other things. I'm sure there are very good puppet shows, and I'm sure that a bunch of charities in the world can go pay for it, but the American taxpayers should not. We've also, by the way, mister president, under your direction, reorganized the Department of State. We had offices within offices within offices that didn't even know they existed themselves, not to mention the rest of them.
And so we've begun to reorganize that as a way to be able to empower our embassies embassies and our ambassadors and our regional bureaus to do what many of them signed up to do. We have a great team of ambassadors you've appointed. They're coming online every single day. Very talented people. Very talented people are involved.
Something else we got out the business of it wasn't widely reported or maybe it was. We had a depart we had an office in the Department of State whose job it was to censor Americans. And by the way, there I'm not gonna say who it is. I'll leave it up to them. There's at least one person at this table today who had a dossier in that building of social media posts to identify them as purveyors of disinformation.
We have these dossiers. We are going to be turning those over to these individuals. We could follow-up with the media. Well, we are going to turn over these dossiers to the individuals, and they'll decide whether they wanna disclose it or not. But just think about it, the Department of State of the United States had set up an office to to monitor the social media posts commentary of American citizens to identify them as vectors of disinformation when we know that the best way to combat disinformation is freedom of speech and transparency.
And so that's what we're gonna be in the business of doing. We're not gonna have an office that does that. Beyond that, mister president, and this will all move quickly because this has been team effort, we have gone to countries all over the world and said, hey, you want good relations with The United States, you need to take back your people that are here illegally. And we've had historic cooperation. Beyond that, and I say this unapologetically, we are actively searching for other countries to take people from third countries.
So we are active. Not just El Salvador. We are working with other countries to say, we want to send you some of the most despicable human beings Oh. To your countries. Will you do that as a favor to us?
And the further away from America, the better, so they can't come back across the border. I'm not apologetic about it. We are doing that. It the president was elected to keep America safe and to get rid of a bunch of perverts and pedophiles and child rapists out of our country. Here's something else we've done.
We stopped giving student visas to people who are coming here to burn down our universities and take over libraries and harass people. Why are we giving student visas to people who are coming here to create disruption? And we've taken away the student visas of people that come here to do that. It's simple. If you're coming to America to to start riots, we're not gonna give you we're gonna take away your student visa.
And by the way, every country in the world that I travel, 14 countries in fourteen weeks, you know what they all say to me? Yes. That's what we would do too. So the only people who seem to disagree with us are a handful of federal judges and a bunch of crazy people who get paid to write and and report. So anyway, we're getting rid of that.
The last but cut now, here's some good news. You know, we're gonna have the World Cup, the FIFA World Cup, FIFA Club Cup, and then we're gonna have the Olympics. So we have to have a a consular affairs bureau. We have very good talented people there, but we are going to infuse technology, again, working with our consultants to be able to we got millions of people coming into this country for this. And but I also we've done it to improve customer service.
For some of us who served in congress recognize that about a year and a half ago, we had a meltdown under Biden. You couldn't get a passport. You you have people calling. I have a cruise on Friday. My passport expired.
In the month of March, we processed 2,780,000 Americans, their passports. That is the historic never in any it's the largest single month processing of passports ever, and we think it's a good way to build the momentum to be able to do the visas. Two last points I want to make. We have a great team that you've built. I want to especially acknowledge Steve Woodcock.
This is a person that doesn't have to be doing what he's doing. He has a very good life in Miami, my hometown as well. He has worked incredibly hard, has done it without any agenda. And I I do we need to acknowledge him. I want to acknowledge mister Bulov as well, who did something really great last week.
They told us this war between the Democratic Republic Of Congo and Rwanda is an intractable. It can never happen. It will never happen. I sent mister Bugos, your envoy. A week later, I look on my schedule.
The signing of a declaration of peace between the Democratic Republic Of Congo and Rwanda, We signed it at the State Department last week. We hope it will lead now to a lasting permanent peace that we hope to invite them back to Washington to sign. So two great and we have a lot of good people working on our teams as well, but these are two great people. Mike Waltz alluded to this earlier, and this is the last point. In the first hundred days of the forty seventh presidency, forty seven wrongfully detained Americans have been returned to The United States, thanks to your leadership and the diplomacy that was exercised to make that happen.
47 for the forty seventh president in the first hundred days. And that's all credit to you, mister president. Thank you for the honor to be able to serve alongside you, for you, and alongside all these excellent people.

I believe USAID has deviated from its original mission of advancing American interests abroad, with much of its funding misaligned with our national priorities. To address this, President Trump appointed Secretary Marco Rubio as Acting Administrator. Secretary Rubio has informed Congress about a review of USAID’s foreign assistance activities, aiming for potential reorganization. As we assess USAID, we are committed to aligning it with an America First agenda and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are used effectively to protect American interests.
@StateDept - Department of State
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has long strayed from its original mission of responsibly advancing American interests abroad, and it is now abundantly clear that significant portions of USAID funding are not aligned with the core national interests of the United States. As an interim step toward gaining control and better understanding over the agency’s activity, President Donald J. Trump appointed Secretary Marco Rubio as Acting Administrator. Secretary Rubio has also now notified Congress that a review of USAID’s foreign assistance activities is underway with an eye towards potential reorganization. As we evaluate USAID and ensure it is in alignment with an America First agenda and the efforts of the State Department, we will continue to protect the American people’s interests and ensure their tax dollars are not wasted.
